"I have these problems"

"Hey, you can do this to solve your problems.."

"No, I have problems"

Unless you have severe autism I promise you you can get a social life. Leetcheet has autism and he has a girlfriend. No excuses.

I don't think you need to "conform" to everything; most especially with things that you highly disagree with.

However, as with EVERYTHING ELSE, compromise or finding middle ground without antagonising others or being passive-agressive is necessary.

No man is an island. Like it or not, we need each other. You don't need to bend over backwards for others to get them to like you. You need to be genuine and be yourself. But that being said, if you have problems in how you communicate (you are rude, tactless, insincere etc etc), then you need to work on those problems first.

Try to be patient with others and emphatise with them rather than being judgmental. If people are rude to you, assert yourself without being aggressive and try to put yourself in their shoes.

Understanding others and yourself is vital for any sort of relationship.

Be yourself. People like you or they don't it really shouldn't matter.

but what if "yourself" is a complete unbearable ass who desperately wants people to like him, but actively seeks to alienate himself?

god DAMN

I actually have this problem, not sure if I'll be fired because of it. I'm with the HR department and I never initiate any kind of small talk/joke/remark or anything. I only open my mouth when they talk to me or ask me something. Because more than often I'm just clueless and just don't have any sense for small talks.
